Controlling job class usage
Controlling job class usage
An installation can control job class usage by granting access based on the submitter’s profile, or based on the owner’s profile, or both.
The control is based on the presence or absence of two FACILITY
class profiles:
- If the profile JES.JOBCLASS.OWNER is defined in the FACILITY class, job class profiles for owners are enforced.
- If the profile JES.JOBCLASS.SUBMITTER is defined in the FACILITY class, job class profiles for submitters are enforced.
- If both profiles are defined in the FACILITY class, a job class must pass both sets of profiles before it is considered valid.
- If neither profile is defined in the FACILITY class, any job class can be used.
The job class profiles are of the form:
JOBCLASS.localnodeid.jobclass.jobname- localnodeid
- Is the name of the node on which the job is located
- jobclass
- Is the 1 - 8 character job class that is being controlled
- jobname
- Is the name that is in the name field of the JOB statement
The JOBCLASS-prefixed resources must be defined in the JESJOBS class.
